If I really need to have my phone because I am expecting an important text. Do you think I can sneak it in on Sunday at Valhalla? I have never been to a Pga event and not sure if they pat you down or have scanners.

Just like a normal round, keep it on vibrate and you should be fine.

Ya, whatever you do, do not let it RING. Also be careful, just having it out will get you booted from the event, doesn't matter if you are 100 yds away at the porta potty's, if a marshall see's you with a phone, you're jacked.
Can't tell you how many peeps I saw at the U.S. Open getting escorted out..."Like, OMG, it's just a txt from my bff Jill"

Sorry, but I think it's incredibly disrespectful to knowingly try to break the rules and "sneak" it in. If the text is that important to you, stay at home and wait for it.

Perhaps karma will take care of you and you'll drop it in a port-a-John or something if you decide to sneak it in.

I have to agree with Erik here. If the message is of such importance to you that you have to be available to respond immediately, then you shouldn't be spending all day at a golf tournament. If it isn't that urgent, just leave the phone at home and get back to whomever is trying to call you in the evening.

They had scanners and I left it in the car anyway. It was important enough to take in but not enough to not go. Luckily, it was taken care of before I walked in the gate.
Thanks PGA police.

You're the one who asked the question and these guys go out of their way to respond, and you mock them?

Thanks PGA police

Hmm...I somehow doubt you'll get very many replies to another post...

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂

      Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
